The Immersive Education Initiative is a non-profit international collaboration

of universities, colleges, research institutes, consortia and companies that are

working together to define and develop open standards, best practices,

platforms, and communities of support for virtual reality and game-based

learning and training systems. Over a thousand faculty, researchers, staff,

administrators and students are members of the Immersive Education Initiative,

which is growing at the rate of approximately 2 new members every day.

Membership is FREE and open to the global academic community.
